Ether I fail at looking at instructions, or I just don't have the proper Soft-Top Structure on my Wrangler. But I've seen other wranglers (mainly newer) able to retract their Soft-Top halfway so the driver part of the cab is exposed, but you dont have to take the entire top off.

Is there a Soft-Top Kit that allows this? Would be nice to do when you expect rains the next day, but it's sunny today.

Someone in my club mentioned to me last week that he got a hold of a kit, I believe on ebay that enables you to modify the original softtop into a sunrider...I will confirm with him soon, he was going to install it this past weekend

My 06 Rubicon has a soft top I can fold back. I bought it used, but as far as I know it is an OEM top. It has a hinge about midway above the doors like the DIY kit makes.

I like it since it gives me much of the fun of having the top down but is much quicker. Great when the weather is iffy or the trip is short.

Only thing I dont like is it seems to create a low pressure area in the back and really sucks in the windows. I have had no issues, but worry it will stretch thing out. I can remove the windows but at that point I might as well put the top all the way down (not so great when the weather is iffy or the trip is short).

My '06 unlimited comes factory with the Sunrider top. I agree it is a great offering when the weather is iffy. Also, according to the owners manual, when using this feature you are supposed to have the back window open so you don't blow your windows out.

Maybe in another month or so when my soft top goes back on, I'll document how I did mine. You can make the same type of arrangement several ways.

You need hinges (I used 4 of the small bow knuckles I got from Davie's for I think 20-25) and made a bracket to connect the knuckles.

And you need a way to hold down the frame when the header is released. I originally used straps around the surround and frame ( I did not attach it to the frame like Stu). The problem was that it was tough to keep tight enough. I then used some locking pins through a hole I drilled in the frame.
